==="Site-to-site" transport===
The earliest example of site-to-site transport carried out by Federation personnel occurred in 2286. A HMS Bounty|Klingon vessel stolen by the crew of the late starship ''Enterprise'' had site-to-site transporter capabilities. (Star Trek: Insurrection)

By 2364, limitations in pattern buffer and targeting scanner technology had been sufficiently overcome that it was now possible to transport from one location directly to another without the need to re-materialize the subject in between.  This operation was enabled and controlled by the site-to-site transport interlocks. (TNG|Brothers) 

Site-to-site transport holds the matter stream in the pattern buffer while the ACB was re-targeted.  Afterwards, the matter stream was redirected to the new location and normal re-materialization was carried out.  

Using this technique, any computer terminal with access to the main transporter sub-systems, or any applicable subroutine, could be used to control transporter operations, including bridge terminals.  This technique could only be utilized when sufficient energy was available to the transporters; all normal transporter limitations would still apply. (Star Trek: Nemesis)

This procedure was particularly useful in emergency medical situations where time is of the essence.  Subjects could be beamed directly to sickbay where treatment could be carried out quickly.  (Star Trek: Insurrection)

Ensign Wesley Crusher used this method in an attempt to outrun those (especially Riker and Worf) who were taken over by the Risa/Ktarian Mind Game. (TNG|The Game)
